Thompson -- Dealing with Moral Dilemmas through Design / Ibo van de Poel -- Designing the Morality of Things : The Ethics of Behaviour-Guiding Technology / Peter-Paul Verbeek -- The Health Impact Fund : Aligning Incentives / Thomas Pogge -- Poverty, Exclusion and the Design of Microfinance Institutions / Tom Sorell -- Designing-in-Ethics : A Compulsory Retirement Savings System -- Pacifism : Designing a Moral Defence Force / Andrew Alexandra -- An Anti-Corruption System for Police Organizations / Seumas Miller -- Good Governance for the Commons : Design for Legitimacy / Theo A.J. Toonen and Neelke Doorn -- The Ethical Obligation to Beauty in the Design of Buildings / Christian Illie and Nicholas Ray. Abstract Many of our interactions in the twenty-first century - both good and bad - take place by means of institutions, technology, and artefacts. We inhabit a world of implements, instruments, devices, systems, gadgets, and infrastructures. Technology is not only something that we make, but is also something that in many ways makes us. The discipline of ethics must take this constitutive feature of institutions and technology into account; thus, ethics must in turn be embedded in our institutions and technology. The contributors to this book argue that the methodology of ’designing in ethics’ - addressing and resolving the issues raised by technology through the use of appropriate technological design - is the way to achieve this integration. They apply their original methodology to a wide range of institutions and technologies, using case studies from the fields of healthcare, media and security. Their volume will be important for philosophical practitioners and theorists alike. Subject Ethics, Modern -- 21st century. 43452

331.101.21 BOH Bohnet, Iris What works : gender equality by design Cambridge, Massachusetts : Belknap Press of Harvard University Press, [2016]. Abstract Gender equality is a moral and a business imperative. But unconscious bias holds us back and de-biasing minds has proven to be difficult and expensive. Behavioral design offers a new solution. Iris Bohnet shows that by de-biasing organizations instead of individuals, we can make smart changes that have big impacts--often at low cost and high speed Subject Sex discrimination in employment Gender mainstreaming.

343.98 WIL Wiltshire, Patricia London : 535, [2019] Abstract Wonderfully empirical in her pursuit of the facts, Patricia breaks down a crime scene into the minute components, eliminating theories flower by flower and microbe by microbe, until she comes to a realistic and compelling thesis on how a crime was committed and how a crime scene came to be. Her story touches on biology, physics, chemistry, geography, botany, psychology, micrology and criminology, and how our interaction with nature leaves an indelible mark on who we are and how we interact. This brilliant and original memoir will out-grow its true crime roots, connecting with those interested a unique life in a fascinating field, and those interested our inherent connections with the outside world.

579.6 CAR Carlson, Robert H. Biology is technology : the promise, peril, and new business of engineering life Cambridge, Massachusetts : Harvard University Press, [2010] Contents What is biology? -- Building with biological parts -- Learning to fly (or yeast, geese, and 747s) -- The second coming of synthetic biology -- A future history of biological engineering -- The pace of change in biological technologies -- The international genetically engineered machines competition -- Reprogramming cells and building genomes -- The promise and peril of biological technologies -- The sources of innovation and the effects of existing and proposed regulations -- Laying the foundations for a bioeconomy -- Of straightjackets and springboards for innovation -- Open-source biology, or open biology? -- What makes a revolution? Abstract Technology is a process and a body of knowledge as much as a collection of artifacts. Biology is no different--and we are just beginning to comprehend the challenges inherent in the next stage of biology as a human technology. It is this critical moment, with its wide-ranging implications, that Robert Carlson considers in Biology Is Technology. He offers a uniquely informed perspective on the endeavors that contribute to current progress in this area--the science of biological systems and the technology used to manipulate them. In a number of case studies, Carlson demonstrates that the development of new mathematical, computational, and laboratory tools will facilitate the engineering of biological artifacts--up to and including organisms and ecosystems. Exploring how this will happen, with reference to past technological advances, he explains how objects are constructed virtually, tested using sophisticated mathematical models, and finally constructed in the real world. Such rapid increases in the power, availability, and application of biotechnology raise obvious questions about who gets to use it, and to what end. Carlson’s thoughtful analysis offers rare insight into our choices about how to develop biological technologies and how these choices will determine the pace and effectiveness of innovation as a public good.

Gloria Moss’s erudite, sophisticated and fascinating book, guides the reader to an understanding of the way gender influences our visual perception. In this wide-ranging book the author explores design, visual aesthetics, language and communication, by drawing on an exhaustive range of primary sources of research from psychology, design, branding and communication. The lessons that emerge offer challenges to organizations both in the way in which their design and marketing is perceived by men and women, as well as how the make-upof their workforce may limit their ability to appreciate and address the diversity of customers’ preferences. The challenge for management is to overcome these limitations and ensure that an organization’s products and services mirror the preferences of customers rather than those of senior managers. Where the demographics of the workforce differ from those of the customer, management needs to take steps to ensure that customer-centric preferences inform decision-making in the organization. Gender, Design and Marketing offers researchers, designers, brand and marketing specialists an enhanced understanding of gender; the ways in which an organization’s actions can engage or dissuade the men and women that make up its market; and how to increase the breadth and depth of appeal for all products. -- from back cover.

681.3.015 MON Monteiro, Stephen The fabric of interface : mobile media, design, and gender Cambridge, Massachusetts : MIT Press, [2017] Contents Woven memory -- Image fabric -- Piecework -- Domestic disturbances. Abstract Tracing the genealogy of our physical interaction with mobile devices back to textile and needlecraft culture. For many of our interactions with digital media, we do not sit at a keyboard but hold a mobile device in our hands. We turn and tilt and stroke and tap, and through these physical interactions with an object we make things: images, links, sites, networks. In The Fabric of Interface, Stephen Monteiro argues that our everyday digital practice has taken on traits common to textile and needlecraft culture. Our smart phones and tablets use some of the same skills―manual dexterity, pattern making, and linking―required by the handloom, the needlepoint hoop, and the lap-sized quilting frame. Monteiro goes on to argue that the capacity of textile metaphors to describe computing (weaving code, threaded discussions, zipped files, software patches, switch fabrics) represents deeper connections between digital communication and what has been called “homecraft” or “women’s work.” Connecting networked media to practices that seem alien to media technologies, Monteiro identifies handicraft and textile techniques in the production of software and hardware, and cites the punched cards that were read by a loom’s rods as a primitive form of computer memory; examines textual and visual discourses that position the digital image as a malleable fabric across its production, access, and use; compares the digital labor of liking, linking, and tagging to such earlier forms of collective production as quilting bees and piecework; and describes how the convergence of intimacy and handiwork at the screen interface, combined with needlecraft aesthetics, genders networked culture and activities in unexpected ways.

681.324 ASH Ash, James Phase media : space, time and the politics of smart objects London : Bloomsbury Academic, [2019] Abstract In Phase Media, James Ash theorizes how smart objects, understood as Internet-connected and sensor-enabled devices, are altering users’ experience of their environment. Rather than networks connected by lines of transmission, smart objects generate phases, understood as space-times that modulate the spatio-temporal intelligibility of both humans and non-humans. Examining a range of objects and services from the Apple Watch to Nest Cam to Uber, Ash suggests that the modulation of spatio-temporal intelligibility is partly shaped by the commercial logics of the industries that design and manufacture smart objects, but can also exceed them. Drawing upon the work of Martin Heidegger, Gilbert Simondon and Bruno Latour, Ash argues that smart objects have their own phase politics, which offer opportunities for new forms of public to emerge. Phase Media develops a conceptual vocabulary to contend that smart objects do more than just enabling a world of increased corporate control and surveillance, as they also provide the tools to expose and re-order the very logics and procedures that created them.

Visualizing scale and scope -- IV. Experimental identities and media -- Artist interviews Abstract A visually striking, authoritative survey of the crossover between art and biotechnology by an expert in the field In an era of fast-paced technological progress and with the impact of humans on the environment increasing, the concept of “nature” itself seems called into question. Bio Art explores the work of “bio artists,” those who work with living organisms and life processes to address the possibilities and dangers posed by biotechnological advancement. A contextual introduction traces the roots of bio artistic practice, followed by four thematic chapters: Altering Nature, Experimental Identity and Mediums, Visualizing Scale and Scope, and Redefining Life. The chapters cover the key areas in which biotechnology has had an impact on today’s world, including ecology, biomedicine, designer genomes, and changing approaches to evolutionary theory, and include profiles of the work of sixty artists, collectives, and organizations from around the world. Interviews with eight leading bio artists and technologists provide deeper insight into the ideas and methods of this new breed of creative practitioners. 300 illustrations Subject Biotechnology in art.

Here in their own words and art, the principals of the movement create a composite picture of Dada―its convictions, antics, and spirit. First published in 1951, this treasure trove remains, as Jack D. Flam states in his foreword to the second edition, “the most comprehensive and important anthology of Dada writings in any language, and a fascinating and very readable book.” It contains every major text on the Dada movement, including retrospective studies, personal memoirs, and prime examples. The illustrations range from photos of participants, in characteristic Dadaist attitudes, to facsimiles of their productions. Subject Dadaism Arts, Modern -- 20th century. 43488

7.036 DAD (DIC) Dickerman, Leah Dada : Zurich, Berlin, Hannover, Cologne, New York, Paris Washington, D.C. : National Gallery of Art, in association with D.A.P./Distributed Art Publishers, [2005] Contents Foreword -- Acknowledgments -- Note to the reader -- Lenders to the exhibition -- Introduction -- Zurich -- Plates 1-65 -- Berlin -- Plates 66-135 -- Hannover -- Plates 136-187 -- Cologne -- Plates 188-247 -- New York -- Plates 248-315 -- Paris -- Plates 316-380 -- Dadá films -- Chronology -- Artists’ biographies -- Selected bibliography -- Index -- Credits. Abstract Now available in paperback, this lavishly illustrated and astonishingly comprehensive volume stands as the definitive study of the influential but deliberately elusive international Dada movement of the early twentieth century. Organized according to the primary city centers where this shifting, quintessentially avant garde movement emerged, Dada: Zurich, Berlin, Hannover, Cologne, New York, Paris features the work of 40 key artists, both infamous and lesser-known, including Louis Aragon, Hans Arp, Hugo Ball, André Breton, Otto Dix, Marcel Duchamp, Hannah Höch, Man Ray, Tristan Tzara and Kurt Schwitters, to name just a few, in media spanning painting, sculpture, photography, collage, photomontage, prints and graphic work. Dynamically designed with an uncommon intelligence suited to the complexity of the movement itself, it contains hundreds of reproductions of works which, until the major traveling exhibition of 2005 and 2006 for which this book was originally produced, had for the most part never been seen in one place together. Documentary images, topical essays and an invaluable illustrated chronology of the movement make this volume uniquely essential, along with witty chronicles of events in each city center, a selected bibliography and biographies of each artist, accompanied by Dada-era photographs.

Abstract Exploring how design can be used for good―prompting self-reflection, igniting the imagination, and affecting positive social change. Good design provides solutions to problems. It improves our buildings, medical equipment, clothing, and kitchen utensils, among other objects. But what if design could also improve societal problems by prompting positive ideological change? In this book, Bruce and Stephanie Tharp survey recent critical design practices and propose a new, more inclusive field of socially minded practice: discursive design. While many consider good design to be unobtrusive, intuitive, invisible, and undemanding intellectually, discursive design instead targets the intellect, prompting self-reflection and igniting the imagination. Discursive design (derived from “discourse”) expands the boundaries of how we can use design―how objects are, in effect, good(s) for thinking. Discursive Design invites us to see objects in a new light, to understand more than their basic form and utility. Beyond the different foci of critical design, speculative design, design fiction, interrogative design, and adversarial design, Bruce and Stephanie Tharp establish a more comprehensive, unifying vision as well as innovative methods. They not only offer social criticism but also explore how objects can, for example, be used by counselors in therapy sessions, by town councils to facilitate a pre-vote discussions, by activists seeking engagement, and by institutions and industry to better understand the values, beliefs, and attitudes of those whom they serve. Discursive design sparks new ways of thinking, and it is only through new thinking that our sociocultural futures can change. Subject Design -- Psychological aspects. 43483

712.25 KEE Keeler, Rusty Seasons of play : natural environments of wonder Lewisville, North Carolina : Gryphon House, Inc., [2016] Contents Partial contents:The children and the yards. The Seed Center : Summer ; Autumn ; Winter ; Spring ; Summer again ; Seed Center yard plan -- Corner of the Sky : Summer ; Autumn ; Winter ; Spring ; Corder of the Sky yard plan -- LittleLeaf : Winter ; LitteLeaf yard plan Construction projects and resources. Constructed projects : Straw bales -- Sandpit -- Plant hideout Abstract Recent research has drawn the link between children’s brain development and time spent in the natural environment. In Seasons of Play, Rusty Keeler takes readers on a photographic journey through real child care centers that have embraced his philosophy that natural play space create new opportunities for children to learn and develop. By saying "no" to cookie-cutter care environments, caregivers say "yes" to children’s natural tendencies to explore and adapt their play space to suit their imaginations. Looking into natural play environments at actual child care centers, readers will be inspired to create their own outdoor play areas, regardless of location, Keeler’s own drawings help readers see just how doable an interactive and engaging natural play space can be - and it can change with the seasons!

72.011 COL Colletti, Marjan Digital poetics : an open theory of design-research in architecture Farnham, Surrey : Ashgate Publishing Limited, [2013] Contents Introduction : Advolution -- Devolution -- Evolution -- Involution -- Revolution -- Conclusion : Deconvolution. Abstract Digital Poetics celebrates the architectural design exuberance made possible by new digital modelling techniques and fabrication technologies. By presenting an unconventional and original ’humanistic’ theory of CAD (computer-aided design), the author suggests that beyond the generation of innovative engineering forms, digital design has the potential to affect the wider complex cultural landscape of today in profound ways. The book is organised around a synthetic and hybrid research methodology: a contemporary, propositional and theoretical discursive investigation and a design-led empirical research. Both methods inform a critical construct that deals with the nature, forms, and laws of digitality within a contemporary architectural discourse that affects practice and academia. The chapters spiral at, from, towards, around, outside-inwards and back inside-out digitality, its cognitive phenomena, spatial properties and intrinsic capabilities to achieve, or at least, approach Digital Poetics. The book presents speculative and small-scale constructed projects that pioneer techniques and experiments with common 3D and 4D software packages, whereby the focus lies not on the drawing processes and mechanics, but on the agency and impact the image (its reading, experience, interpretation) achieves on the reader and observer. The book also features a preface by Frédéric Migayrou, a philosopher and curator, and one of the most influential cultural engineers of the contemporary international architectural scene. The book is linked to a website, which contains a larger selection of images of some featured projects. Subject Architectural design -- Data processing.

749.1(73) BRI (LAF) LaFarge, Antoinette Louise Brigham and the early history of sustainable furniture design Cham, Switzerland : Palgrave Macmillan, [2019] Abstract During the Progressive Era, a time when the field of design was dominated almost entirely by men, a largely forgotten activist and teacher named Louise Brigham became a pioneer of sustainable furniture design. With her ingenious system for building inexpensive but sturdy “box furniture” out of recycled materials, she aimed to bring good design to the urban working class. As Antoinette LaFarge shows, Brigham forged a singular career for herself that embraced working in the American and European settlement movements, publishing a book of box furniture designs, running carpentry workshops in New York, and founding a company that offered some of the earliest ready-to-assemble furniture in the United States. Her work was a resounding critique of capitalism’s waste and an assertion of new values in design―values that stand at the heart of today’s open and green design movements. Per.Sub.

766:659.12 DEA The death of the hat : a brief history of poetry in 50 objects Somerville, Massachusetts : Candlewick Press, [2015] Abstract Poetry, scholars claim, is one of the oldest living art forms. This collection traces the canon from the Middle Ages - when poets may have written about a sword, a candle, or a bookworm - to the current day, when their subjects might be cocoa or a birthday card. Yet a fascination with the natural world has held true for poets across the millennia, as evidenced by Cui Tu’s Tang Dynasty poem "A Solitary Wildgoose" and Mary Oliver’s contemporary poem "The Summer Day." Is it possible to sum up more than one thousand years of poetry in 50 poems? Of course it is not. But Paul B. Janeczko and Chris Raschka bring intelligence and joy to the mission in this, their fourth poetry anthology collaboration for young and not-so-young readers. Subject Children’s books Illustrated children’s books Children’s poetry. Poetry -- Juvenile literature. 43482

Lax -- It’s a website: the enduring promise of art online / Caitlin Jones -- Professional surfers / Lauren Cornell -- Hello world, goodbye world, and hello again!: looking at art after the internet / Omar Kholeif. Abstract A richly illustrated and expansive investigation of how the internet has influenced contemporary artistic practice over the past thirty years Featuring essays by leading curators, scholars, and critics, this book provides an in-depth look at how the internet has impacted visual art over the past three decades. From the fall of the Berlin Wall to Black Lives Matter, the internet’s promise to foster communication across borders and democratize information has evolved alongside its rapidly developing technologies. While it has introduced radical changes to how art is made, disseminated, and perceived, the internet has also inspired artists to create inventive and powerful work that addresses new conceptions of community and identity, modes of surveillance, and tactics for resistance. Art in the Age of the Internet, 1989 to Today traces the relationship between internet culture and artistic practice through the work of contemporary artists such as Ed Atkins, Camille Henrot, and Anicka Yi, and looks back to pre-internet pioneers including Nam June Paik. Conversations between artists reveal how they have tackled similar issues using different technological tools. Touching on a variety of topics that range from emergent ideas of the body and human enhancement to the effects of digital modes of production on traditional media, and featuring more than 200 images of works including painting, performance, photography, sculpture, video, and web-based projects, this volume is packed with insightful revelations about how the internet has affected the trajectory of contemporary art.

82-1 STO Stout, John C. Objects observed : the poetry of things in twentieth-century France and America Toronto : University of Toronto Press, [2018] Contents The Object in Modernism in the United States and France -- Cubism and the Poetry of the Object: Pierre Reverdy’s Aesthetics of Impersonality -- The Text as Object: Francis Ponge’s Verbal Still Lifes -- Description as Transfiguration: lean Follain’s (Meta)Poetics of the Object -- The Object as (M)Other: Guillevic’s Poetry and Object-Relations Theory -- Jean Tortel’s Poetics of the Desiring Gaze -- L’Objet après L’Objet: Contemporary French Poetry. Abstract Objects Observed explores the central place given to the object by a number of poets in France and in America in the twentieth century. John C. Stout provides comprehensive examinations of Pierre Reverdy, Francis Ponge, Jean Follain, Guillevic, and Jean Tortel. Stout argues that the object furnishes these poets with a catalyst for creating a new poetics and for reflecting on lyric as a genre. In France, the object has been central to a broad range of aesthetic practices, from the era of Cubism and Surrealism to the 1990s. In the heyday of American Modernism, several major poets foregrounded the object in their work; however, in postwar twentieth-century America, poets moved away from a focus on the object. Objects Observed illuminates the variety of aesthetic practices and positions in French and American poets from the years of high Modernism (1909–1930) to the 1990s.
